Incredible experience, Amazing Safari Tour Operator, Best guide (Lemomo) we could ever find
We recently had the pleasure of experiencing a safari trip with Safari by Z, and it was beyond our wildest dreams. We can't recommend this company enough, as well as their incredible guide Lemomo, and here's why:
- **Transparent Quotation**: The detailed breakdown of all the costs while creating a quote was incredibly helpful. It makes adjusting and tailoring the trip according to your needs super easy.
- **Accommodation Recommendations**: Gladness’s (the sales rep) suggestions for lodges and camps were absolutely spot on. We had memorable stays at some truly great places.
- **Personal Touch by Gladness**: Not only did she help put together a phenomenal trip and personally greeted us at the airport and bid us farewell on our departure day. She even took the time to check in on us halfway through the trip. Such gestures are rare and highly appreciated!
- **The Safari Vehicle**: Unlike other companies, their vehicle is designed for only 4 people. This means you have abundant leg space, ensuring utmost comfort during your journey. Most of the companies we saw on the road use 6-seaters with limited legroom. You spent all your day in the vehicle so this is super important
- **Quality of Vehicle**: They use Land Rovers over the usual Toyota vehicles, making the safari experience feel even more premium.
- **Employee Welfare**: Throughout our journey, it was evident that Safari by Z treats its employees with utmost respect and care.
Now, about Lemomo - our guide during this trip. The guide is one of the most important parts of your trip, you will spend a lot of time with your guide, so make sure it’s a great time. If you're booking with Safari by Z, I would personally suggest you request specifically for Lemomo as your guide, and here are my reasons:
- **In-depth Cultural Knowledge**: Being a Maasai, Lemomo can offer rich insights about the Maasai culture. With the major parks situated in Maasai land where he grew up, his knowledge about the terrain is unmatched.
- **Expert Navigator**: We witnessed other drivers getting lost, but Lemomo always knew the way. He even helped guide other lost drivers multiple times!
- **Animal Spotting Skills**: His prowess in spotting animals is commendable. Thanks to Lemomo, our journey was filled with countless sightings, perfect for photo opportunities.
- **Ecosystem Respect**: Lemomo treats the environment with the respect it deserves, ensuring minimal disturbance to the ecosystem.
- **Safety First**: We encountered many reckless drivers during our trip. But Lemomo, being the skilled driver he is, always prioritized our safety above everything.
- **More than Just a Guide**: By the end of our trip, Lemomo felt like a friend. Our conversations ranged from wildlife and culture to deeper philosophical discussions. He's not just knowledgeable but also possesses a great sense of humor, making every moment spent with him a joy.
To top off our trip, we also had the chance to stay at the Z Hotel in Zanzibar, owned by the same company. An absolute paradise on earth with top-notch facilities, delectable food, and impeccable service. Plus, bundling our safari with the hotel stay earned us a sweet discount.
In conclusion, if I ever decide to relive this magical experience, it would unquestionably be with Safari by Z and the wonderful Lemomo. For those planning a trip to Tanzania, you know who to choose!
Thank you, Lemomo, Gladness and Safari by Z!

More than 5 stars!
We had an amazing trip exploring the parks in Kenya - in large part due to Gametrackers, who helped us plan the trip and who guided us through almost two weeks of safari. Special mention to our guide Zack who was not only knowledgeable, friendly and hardworking, but also took good care of us during the trip. Highly recommended - we would definitely go with Gametrackers next time we go on safari :)

Absolutely Amazing Company !!
This was our second trip with Bright African Safaris! Our first trip 5 yrs ago was soooo wonderful we just had to return! The company is top notch and goes way above and beyond expectations. Every staff member is wonderful! The marketing/scheduling staff (Evania and Salim) pay close attention to every detail….and are amazing to work with prior to the trip….very quick to respond and always eager to arrange anything you want…this time we were interested in adding a rhino experience at the last minute….Evania expertly got that arranged for us! During the trip, the day we were supposed to do the rhino experience the govt managed trip turned out to be a big pain in the neck! Salim from the office had to come in on Saturday and wire money from he bank and literally spending hours on the phone with the govt people and rangers to get it straightened out. He did and we had an amazing experience!

Unforgettable Experience in Tanzania
Our first Tanzanian adventure took us to three iconic national parks: Tarangire, Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater, and it became an unforgettable experience, all thanks to our remarkable guide, William. His competence, extensive knowledge of wildlife and the natural environment, and deep connection to his homeland truly shone throughout our journey.
William's expertise was evident as he skillfully navigated the often challenging, pothole-riddled roads, all while seamlessly spotting the diverse array of animals that crossed our path. We were left in awe at the incredible abundance of wildlife we encountered during our safari, including remarkable close encounters with a leopard and a cheetah.
Beyond his guiding prowess, William's friendly and sociable nature made our experience even more enriching. His passion for wildlife was infectious, and he willingly answered every question we had about the animals we encountered. William's contributions were instrumental in turning this holiday into a cherished memory that we will fondly reminisce about for years to come.

Life changing experience, thank you!
My experience with África Uncovered Safaris certainly deserves a 5-star rating. Our guide Muza was a wealth of knowledge about the area, sharing insights that enriched our journey. Norman, another guide, was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel well taken care of. The transportation was perfect, and the choice of lodges was impeccable. This personalized and informative approach made the trip truly unforgettable. I highly recommend África Uncovered Safaris for an authentic African adventure.

Nature Responsible Safari Company fulfills dreams and expectations
From the beginning to the end: our 22-day safari was wonderful, colorful and very special!
We were warmly welcomed in Arusha by the manager Francisca, who had organized our trip and had tried to comply with all our wishes. Heriel, our guide, a careful driver and an expert on the wildlife and nature of Tanzania, accompanied us almost to the end. We had such a good time together and appreciated his friendliness and humor. Francisca chose different and interesting kinds of accommodations: from elegant and cosy lodges to tented camps in the bush to original Masai huts - it was always a surprise. Thank you for all that!
The landscapes and the wildlife of Tanzania are just overwhelming. All in all our safari was an experience never to forget!
So I warmly recommend Nature Responsible Safari Company: one gets a great equivalent for a reasonable price.
